CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the 
auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

Ii, The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

III. Identification and part payment by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot 
shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall 
oni a vard giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and 
address. 

Payment at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices aS may be required. 

f the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased 
may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. 
and thereafter neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or 
any damage to any article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon pay- 
ment of the total amount due forall purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made at the place of sale or at the storage warehouse to which 
purchases may have been removed. 

Deliveries at the American Art Galleries will be made only between the hours of 
9 A. M. and 1 P. M. on sales’ days and on other days—except holidays, when no deliveries 
will be made—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Deliveries at places of sale other than the American Art Galleries will be made 
only during the forenoon following the day of sale unless by special notice or arrange- 
ment to the contrary. 

Deliveries at the storage warehouse to which goods may have been sent will be made 
on any day other than holidays between the hours of 9 and 5 

Deliveries of any purchases of small articles likely to be lost or mislaid may be 
made ae discretion of the auctioneer during the session of the sale at which they 
were sold. 

VI. Storage in default of prompt payment and ealling for goods: Articles not paid 
for in full and either not called for by the purchaser or delivered upon his or her order 
by noon of the day following that of the sale will be turned over by the Association to 
some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery 
therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage will be charged 
against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or 
storage will be upon the purchaser. 

NOTE: The Limited space of the Delivery Rooms of the Association 
makes the above requirements necessary, and it is not alone for the 
benefit of the Association, but also for that of its patrons, whose goods 
eerie would have to be so crowded as to be subject to damage 
and loss. 

VII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association 
for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for 
employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, 
without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the 
parties engaged for such service. 

VIII. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 
defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot 
and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or 
imperfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is’ and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the 
Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the 
effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter 
sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby 
will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without 
foundation. : 

IX. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone will be faithfully 
attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to 
the foregoing conditions of sale except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one 
or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been 
present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within 
ten days from the date of sale and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot 
in any manner differs from its catalogue description. ‘ : 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such 
plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number 
be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and 
when the lot consists*of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per 
volume or piece shou'd also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the 
Association, a deposit should be sent or references submitted. Shipping directions should 
also be given. 

Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying 
the necessary information from the records of the Association.

Set of Four Rare Feletin Tapestries of the early sixteenth century. Ilus- 
trating a French medieval “Pastoral Romance.” The weaving is of fine 
and even character; the coloring is of restrained blues, greens, yellows, 
tans, ivories and dull pinks, giving a most agreeable tonality. These 
tapestries are of great import in illustrating the quaint costumes of the 
period. One is evidently signed by the weaver in monogram, T.G.A. Any 
signature on Feletin tapestry is extremely rare, and certainly denotes 
that the weaver considered the work of great merit, and he was un- 
doubtedly correct. These tapestries were originally in the collection of 
Comte Hendrekoff. 


500—Ferretin Tapestry Early Siateenth Century 
“The Betrothal.” In the center of uneven ground, rising to 
several distant chateaux, flanked by fruiting oak trees, a young

staff. At left, the gallant father has his arm round his wife’s 
waist ; at right are seated the bride’s father and mother. In the 
mid-distance a further couple look on with evident interest at the 
ceremony. |

“Romulus and Remus cast into the Tiber by their Grand-uncle.” 
In the vine-overgrown foreground a muscular man, in classic 
Roman attire, bends over and places the “Infant Romulus” 
amid the rushes at left near a satyr; he still holds Remus in his 
arms, but is about to place him also in the trough with his twin 
brother. Above, before wooded chateaux, on rising ground a 
priest is seen with an attendant nearby, officiating at the “Altar 
of Mars,” the God of War, the reputed father of the twins and 
into whose body Romulus was supposed to go on his strange dis- 
appearance from earth, ever after in Rome being worshiped as 
Mars. In the sky is an apparition of great Jupiter. Woven 
in old-reds, golden-yellows, greens, ivories and browns, the sap- 
phire-blue robes of the grand-uncle giving a very agreeable and 
charming tonality to the whole. Fine original borders of jardi- 
niéres and laurel staves bearing choice fruit and flowers inter- 
spersed with birds. Low-toned guards of leaf plaquettes. 


Height, 10 feet 10 inches; width, 8 feet 1 inch. 


From the collection of the Vicomte de Clinchamp, France. 


Note: This beautifully woven tapestry is signed at the lower left sel- 
vedge with the “Brussels Marks,” “Two B’s with a shield between”; also with 
the “Weaver’s Mark” on right lower selvedge. This mark is recorded (but 
has not yet been identified) in Thompson’s “History of Tapestry.”
